I think the defense went with charges that they could conceivably get a jury to understand, agree upon and convict. Accessory to murder would have been a reach too far and a cost to the taxpayer that could have put the prosecution in a bad light for wasting taxpayers money. After all, how many times have you heard or read about someone being tried for perjury? Not many and I am excluding politicians but mean every day, work-a-day people.
I think this is round one in getting her incarcerated for the time being whilst they research and delve into facts, texts, emails, evidence that she was far more involved than she proclaims OR that they had enough evidence at the time of THIS trial.
They have 4 years give or take, to find it. And as other posters have mentioned, she will spend the rest of her life looking over her shoulder waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak. The gumshoe who tracks down the vital evidence and proof they need but didnt have in time.
Also, it was a good idea to wait until after Hemy Neuman's appeal is played out. If his verdict is upheld, he may be willing to talk. Right now, he's hoping to have his overturned. There's no way he could have testified at a murder trial at this point.
